- Have a look at linux. It's free and is supposed to run POSIX binaries.
- Plus you don't have to deal with SCO support. The last time I called
- them I waited on hold for 20 minutes to get an "appointment" to talk
- to a maintainer, three days hence. Then when that person calls and you're
- in a meeting, it's back to square one. I would rather convert all
- of our systems than deal with them once more, even if they were free.
